GoogleEarth integration
will feature in libferris 1.1.96+. The above animation shows the application of geoemblems to
four image files with the ego filemanager. Watch the status bar when the second Zwinger image
is tagged to see the command line driven minibuffer tagging mode. After "zw" is typed a tab
completes the emblem name and return will apply that emblem to the current file. The feaindexadd
command is then run to force a reindex of these files. A file is then opened with googleearth
which zooms the map into the area of the geoemblem associated with that file.
Clicking on the marker for that location will then show a menu of "desktop search" options.
In this case I decide to search for image files within 15km of the marker. Notice how
in the ego filelist which results the sacre cure image is listed. This is because it is
marked with a geoemblem that is within 15km of Notre Dame in Paris.
Mounting Firefox
is supported in libferris 1.1.73+. You can get at all the anchor tags, images and mount
the DOM for each web page. Also you can send new web pages to Firefox by writing to
firefox://localhost/username.
Sorting
is supported for both ascending and descending on a single column or an arbitrary collection of
columns. This is very handy when you want to group by an attribute such as mimetype and then
on the file's name. Versioned sorting is similar to ls -v in that a series of files with a
numeric component near the end of the filename will sort using mixed string and numeric
sorting on the same column. See the ls -v man page for a description.
Your sorting preferences can be saved away with a name for later recall, so setting up a
sort based on 4 columns only has to be done once. The default sorting order can also be
saved for each directory or for the root of a whole directory tree. Sorting /tmp and below
on mtime by default can be very handy.
gevas view
provides both static thumbnails for image directories and animated alpha blended icons for
video files and pdf documents. A medallion sidepanel allows you to quickly attach emblems to
your files.
Agents
finally making their way into the filesystem in the upcoming libferris 1.1.10 release.
Shown in the top left of the shot is the agent capplet which allows you to create
persistent agents and tell which emblems are to be assigned beliefs by these agents.
Agents make their assertions using a given personality so that you can tell which agent
made what assertion and allow a pool of agents to share a personality... Smith :).
In the top right is the gfproperties with extended medallion view to show fuzzy
assertion. The config emblem has been fully asserted by the user, the docs has
been fully retracted by the user. Agents have expressed slight partial retraction
for the exe emblem and very slight partial assertion for the favs emblem.
The shell at the bottom is showing how to train agents and get them to classify
based on their training. Its in debug mode to get the bogofilter command line
options just right.
Recent movements
in Formal Concept Analysis, Movie 4.3Mb.
This example Lattice is generated from the data in Concept Data
Analysis. The lattice is 3d viewpoint angle distance etc are changable
and as nodes are moved links update themselves in 3d. Labels are in the
form: uniq ID - added attributes for concept e=extent size.
Some older formal concept analysis
of some graphics card data. This is mainly of interest to forks who already know FCA and is not really a prime time tool yet.
Both views
support medallions in ego 0.8.1+.
A sidepanel page is available for editing the emblems attached to a file
and the context menu for files in the list shows the etagere in a tree form
to make finding an emblem simple when a user has many emblems.
There is a current limit of 2^32 emblems per ontology
Emblems
are orginized into medallions which can be
attached to each context. Emblems themself are structured into a partial order
and saved into an ontology called the etagere. Each ontology has a uuid and each
medallion stores the ontology it is created for so one can import their friends
medallions.
Nice mix
of both the icon and tree view, showing the
context menu with its persistent file cut,copy,paste. Also I have selected the
cut to option which lists places that I cut files of the same mime type to in the
past.
The Icon view
with the new thumbnail generator.
note that the bmindtrailer is a quicktime trailer and the icon in ego is a
montage of some frames from the mov file
Binding apps to files
is just a right click away.
Also note how the bmindtrailer has moved on a little.
Hotactions
sidepanel can change depending on what directory
is being viewed. Shown is a prototype for my multimedia sidepanel mode aswell as my
image viewer mode
XMMS
interface, drag and drop files here to enqueue them
for current or next song.
Showing
some of the EA than can be viewed in the list.
Also the popup menu can tell you what will happen for this file when you click it,
recent versions also allow you to reassign this action from the context menu
MIME and application
information are just another filesystem.
You can now import desktop files into ego directly.
Toolbars
have context menus too, so menus aren't really needed
